Elite Athletes Train This Way. You Can Too.

Elite athletes train harder and smarter than everyone else. Even if you don’t have the time to work as long and as often as they do, you owe it to yourself to train every bit as smart as they do.

What if you could take your athletic training to an elite level without the budget for a professional trainer and 40 hours to devote to training every week? And what if this same change to your workout routine could decrease injury risks, improve coordination, and make you a better athlete all-around?

I know what you’re thinking:

This is illegal or it’s snake oil.

Well, it’s neither. It’s agility training.

As the term “strength and conditioning” suggests, agility is an oft-neglected attribute.

Consequently, in addition to all the purely athletic benefits of training agility (increased accuracy, coordination, speed, and flexibility to name just a few), those who train agility will have an edge over most of their competition.

Agility training doesn’t just help you move quickly and easily. It allows you to apply your strength and endurance in a faster, more efficient manner.

Agility is the difference between a fast receiver and an open receiver. It’s the difference between a blown Achilles and a long, healthy career.

The US Air Force has even found that agility training improves cognitive functioning!

Agility training consists of drills that force you to focus on carefully placing your feet (and hands!) in the right place and in the right order. Drills require quick changes in direction of movement.
